Téléphérique du Gran Sasso, Aerial tramway in L'Aquila, Italy
The Funivia del Gran Sasso extends across 3000 meters, connecting Fonte Cerreto station at 1115 meters to Campo Imperatore station at 2130 meters elevation.
The construction project started in 1934, but the current installation began operations in 1988, establishing a vital transportation link in the Abruzzo mountain region.
The tramway serves as a central connection point for winter sports enthusiasts, naturalists, and researchers accessing the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso scientific facility.
With a capacity of 760 passengers per hour and a journey time of 7 minutes, the cable car operates at speeds up to 9 meters per second.
The tramway provides direct access to Campo Imperatore, a high-altitude plateau at 2130 meters that functions as both a ski resort and research location.
